Masteel seeks RM81.5mil via rights issue exercise Monday, 07 Dec 2020 7:10 PM MYT
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Steel Works (KL) Bhd (Masteel) is seeking to raise up to RM81.5mil by selling rights shares with free detachable warrants.
The proposed rights issue to be undertaken would be on the basis of one rights share for every two existing Masteel shares held, on an entitlement date to be determined at a later date.
Based on the issue price of 36 sen per rights share, the exercise is expecte dto raise gross proceeds of between RM81.1mil and RM81.5mil.
The company has allocated up to RM69mil for working capital requirements, RM10mil for the repayment of bank borrowings, and the balance RM2.5mil to defray the estimated expenses.
Masteel managing director and CEO Tai Hean Leng said the company has employed the latest steel melting technology to optimise its cost.
“We are witnessing an upcycle in steel demand within both the local and regional markets, as governments prioritize high-multiplier infrastructure developments and construction projects to stimulate economic growth," he said in a statement today.
"This is clearly advantageous for established steel manufacturers like us who have both capacity and competitiveness to reap the benefits of this recovery," he added.
Masteel is expecting to commission a third manufacturing plant in the first quarter of 2021, that would increase its productivity and expand the versatility of the Group’s product range to eventually include alloy and stainless steel.
If the steel price keep going up, Masteel will make more profits and its shares will keep going up. The right issue at 36 cents with free warrants is attractive
